TMB: we have discussed this point at lengnth in previous threads ad nasuem and there is a letter from 70 R”Y attesteing to the obvious truth. The explanation is
1. Our communitites growth rate dwarfs previous generations bli ayin hara. As such the differentail in class size between grades 1 and grades 5 is very significant, with younger grades being by far larger do to population growth. Similarly the differential between age 19 (when the girls start dating) and age 22.5 (when the boys start dating is very significant as well.
2. This automatic result is that the numbers of girls entering the shidduch pool each year far outnumbers the boys entering the pool. Thus we are faced with a cruel game of musical chairs with the boys being chairs and the girls being the participants.
Are we clear?
